Product Overview
Based on the Intel® microarchitecture codenamed Sandy Bridge, this processor series is the first to offer solutions ranging from 8-core/single-socket up to 16-core/two-socket, providing significant performance improvement over previous-generations. When paired with the Intel® C604 or Intel® C602-J chipset, single or dual-socket configurations maintain compatibility with enterprise platform requirements.
